Dalton and I met on the first day of band camp my freshman year of college at Saint Francis University. He was the junior commanding officer and I was just a shy flute. Thanks to the amount of time we spent together in band, we became good friends. We didn't start dating until after Dalton graduated. As soon as we went on our first date we knew there was something special about our relationship. God created us to love one another and be partners in this great adventure!

Dalton and I love camping and his family goes quite a few weekends during the summer. One of our favorite places to camp is at Willow Bay. On Saturday, Erika told me she wanted to go to the boat docks to take pictures at sunset. I didn't think much of it because of course it would be gorgeous! After dinner we went to the dock and stood along the rocky beach watching the sunset and the boats come in. Before I knew it, Dalton was down on one knee with the most beautiful ring I've ever seen. I said YES!
